I'll get you for this Richard!.

Beware the fighter pilot out of the sun........:E

Am thinking the Letov 218 or 118?

Hi pharter.

Been there - got the t-shirt....

Neither Dutch nor Tschecoslowakei...

must remember how to spell that......:)

I feel this aeroplane may be Deutche.......

If you mean " German designed " ,it's right .:O

The Rumpler C.VIII then?

If correct Open House please.

No ,the Rumpler has an inline engine ,and this one has a radial ,and is a post Great War design ...

Evening to you all.

Is it a Focke-Wulf Fw 44...?

Google is your Friend, but sometimes you have grab it by the throat & shake it hard!!
 

Bonjour Richard,

Following your very good but subtle clues; I now believe that your Challenge shows the Sk 10 Trainer version of the Raab-Katzenstein RK-26 Tigerschwalbe, originally designed by Gerhard Fieseler and built for the Swedish airforce, one was later donated to Finland for the "Winter War" campaign.

Just found your image here!

F19 in the Winter War

It's an early start this morning and a busy day ahead, so please declare Open House if you agree with my findings.

:ok: Congratulations SincoTC :ok:

You say " very good but subtle clues "

Very kind words ,I didn't give much clues : Only "German designed ,in Finnish service "

OPEN HOUSE

Good morning, bonjour, and g'day.

Nice research TC.

Here's an interesting old aeroplane:

Morning to you. I found Sinco's site today which showed all Finnish aircraft in chronological order but stopped at the Fw-44...(I just made an excuse, didn't I?! lol).

American?

G'day Mate.

American it was.

Poor quality photo means a "rare" manufacturer, otherwise I was thinking Curtiss?

I've "silhouetted" the photo, but it wasn't very good in the first place.

I had never heard of the manufacturer, but it's not a Curtiss.

Ok then....

Military aircraft...bomber maybe?

It was indeed. (I didn't think you did much fishing).
